Mention slavery and initial reactions are of one nation capturing another and taking advantage. However while in the past and still today that may be so, there is another slavery which is ongoing.
The subtlety of this slavery is such that many people who believe themselves to be free are in fact slaves...to the system.
It was easy to identify slaves they were in bondage which was a physical affair, but in today's world, from birth; slavery of the mind and spirit is far more condeming, far reaching and this slavery affects not one or two nations, but all of us. |
